Yesterday was a memorable day for me because it was the day I was conferred with Honorary Doctorate, known in Latin as honoris causa degree. It is how a University honours those who distinguish themselves in the field of art, science, etc. In all my life if I had got something that I valued most…
This Sunday morning, I had three surprise visitors at my gate making squeaking sound that attracted our watchman’s attention. On opening the side gate and checking, he noticed three young puppies prowling around happily in front of the cemented area of the gate. By the time I went there to see the new visitors, the…
Jaya Ho Bharat, Jaya Ho Narendra Modi Last evening I spent 161 minutes watching the movie ‘The Vaccine War’ and returned home feeling terribly guilty as a journalist. I also felt like a minor hero because I never compromised as a journalist and sold myself for 30 pieces of silver. The film is about India’s…

It is an achievement attempted but not achieved by any other country in the world. As if to mock Russia, a pioneer in space research and…
Last evening in the confines of a theatre in DRC Cinemas, I spent three hours watching the much-talked about English movie Oppenheimer. I had heard of the world’s first atomic bomb man J. Robert Oppenheimer while reading history of World War II in the College. I remember Prof. G.T. Narayana Rao (GTN), a Mathematician and…
Reading a news item this morning titled ‘Youth, distressed over losing footwear, dials emergency number’ and its contents, my memory went amok and my own experience in losing footwears came crowding to my mind. Since there is lot of fun and human element, I thought I could share it with my readers. While ruminating on…
I.N.D.I.A Vs BHARAT, Howzat? Indian Democracy seems like a paradox. The first paradox is that we got it in darkness of the midnight. Pandit Nehru in his first Independence Day speech, in great flourish and rhetoric, declared that ‘when the whole world sleeps, India will awake to life and freedom.’ I had read that Napoleon…
